Finance Minister Janardan Sharma has vowed to resume the construction of Chandragiri-Chitlang section of Ganeshman Singh Highway soon.
Addressing a festival celebration reception here in Kathmandu today, Sharma said that he had heard that stone supplies were taking place from the section, and if true, such act will be instantly suspended and road construction would be resumed. "I have heard that the ‘stone quarry business’ is taking place along the Chandragiri-Chitlang section of Ganeshman Singh Highway, which I will stopped immediately," he said, promising to do his best for the development of Chandragiri as well. "The construction of a bus park and a community hospital is also in plan," he said, admmitting to materialise the dream of Sankhadhar Sakhwa, who had freed the people from the debt and commenced the era of Nepal Sambat.
The campaign that Sakhwa had started 1142 years ago is yet to be completed, the minister claimed, adding that people are yet to be liberated from the vicious cycle of poverty and to support them to be self-sufficient, according to the Finance Minister.
The then Krishna Prasad Bhattarai-led government had announced Sankhadhar Sakhwa as the national hero and the Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’-led government had recognised the Nepal Sambat as the national calendar.
